The Best House in Polzeath - no question

It's immediately apparent that this is more of a family house than a rental - and I'm told most guests are long-returning visitors. It is an old house and has the character to match - although the owners have made several good improvements like the double glazed bay windows looking out to sea. it only has 2 bathroms, but there are sinks in every bedroom, Victorian style, so they never get too busy: the beach shower is great for warming up right out of the sea!

There appeared to be new fibre broadband this year as well alond with the thousands of books and boxes of games, DVDs etc., so no problem if it rained!

The grounds (4 gardens) has had a lot of work over the last few years and are beginning to look lovely: a rather nice breakfast spot looking SE for the morning sun was my favorite!

In summary - this is an old house with all the quirks, but comfortable, fun and interesting at every turn.
